About the Griffith's Gnat Trout Flies Fly

The Griffith's Gnat is an extremely versatile fly.It gives a good working impression of an emerging midge fighting for its freedom.

The key to its success is that it stands high on the surface of the water. The tips of the hackle barbs leave tiny footprints on the surface of the water which mimic those created by the legs of a real insect.

It is best between March and October and is an excellent Grayling pattern.

Comments from other fly fishermen

I am a huge fan of this fly as it is simple to make, deadly in effect and an indispensable part of my arsenal. I would, however, query the origin of this fly as the only references I have found on the origins of this fly are from the states either from Michigan or Pensylvania, not from England.
For anyone new to fly fishing I would heartily recommend trying this fly. Do not be deceived by the fact it looks like no bug on the water, it acts as a natural trigger for even the wiliest of Brown trout - 5 out of 5 Stars by Bil on 01/07/2010
